WASHINGTON, AprJ! 3,-pig- ures reaching, hers as to the allied losses in the bitter days just closed in Picardy indicate that' British and: French casualties have been unexpectedly light in view of the scope of x're action. The estimate heard, although its accuracy is' open to doubt, fixes the total, Including prisoners, at between 125,000 and 130,000 for the 12 days of ceaseless battle along a 55-mile front.

(By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, April 3— Via Reuter's Ottawa Agency)—Telegraphing from British headquarters in Prance tonight, Reuter's correspondent fays: "Our airmen report much movement of troops, guns and transports In enemy regions, but the Germans are experiencing unexpected dlfficultlfs In this regard. While for once, luckily, the woather Is turning against active op'i'atlons, I bellevo the Germans are bound to strike again as spon as possible and as hard as possible or admit failure, which alternative would be fraught' with a reaction from wh'ch the high command shrinks.

Is Link Between Paris and the Channel Ports, (By Daily News Leased Wire!) PABIS. April 3—The.threat against Amiens is not considered very serious hero, although the Germans are only 11 miles away. That point must be held at al) costs because it is the link between Paris and the channel ports. If the Germans break through here It would separate the British and French armies and 'afford opportunity to defeat each in detail. This danger grows less as time passes.

As far as the sale of margarine was concerned,, tho minister said the regulations wore very definite. .Importations Controlled. The Manufacture' of oloomirgarlne was undjer,the direction of the minister and^noije could be imported unless under government supervision. The .regulations provide that only wholesome materials should be used in the manufacture and these materials were subject' to inspection. Mr. Crerar was not apprehensive that the Canadian, d'.ary production was going to suffer because the price of olcogarmjirlno was .lower than that of butter. During the peVlod of the war and for several years after, he said, tho,'dairy Industry would have a big market in Europe. The dairy industry had. not .suffered up to the riresent time, he stated. As far rs he was enne/ ned, he would do noth'n? which would tend to hurt the great Canadian industry. It must be developed and Improved, rather than Injured. As time went on, the market for Canadian dairy products ws goin-f to broaden and they might f'nd the eastern United States Importing extensively from Canada, Mr. (\^rar said that if the mover would withdraw his resolution he could apsure him that the government would consider his suggestions that nothing wbuld be done which would injure the Canadian dairy 'nrlus'ry. In withdrawing his resolution, Mr. Armstrong stated that he was co-fi- dent the regulations respecting the manufacture and sain of oleomargarine would I)e dealt with effectively. lEIOOT IS NEW (Continued from Page One.) tho dairy industry of Canada should bo adequately protected, Mr. Armstrong stated that it was not his intention to oppose the manufacture, Importation and sale of oleomargarine Into Canada at present but he wished to show that the regulations at present in force permitted of fraud and abuse. This was not the fault of the former minister of agriculture, or of the present minister. Tho men, he believed, who were responsible were the oleomargarine manufacturers themselves, who had Influenced the government to make [regulations favoring them exclusively. Mr. Armstrong quoted some of the regulations, the first of which, he said, opened the door from the United States for oleomargarine, margarine, butterino or any other substitute for butter. He thought that all the wcl d3 following "oleomargarine" should be struck out. The farmers had not known that all substitutes for butter were to be admitted Into Canada f.es of charge. Some of these products contained benzoate of soda, which Is most injurious. Another clause in the regulation- provided that butter manufacturers should not bring Into their plants oi's used for the manufacture of oleomargarine, hut, on the other ha-d manufacturers were permitted to take butter into their factories and do it up with oils, etc., to send out ns a substitute. The third clause to wh'ch. Bf)?. Armstrong took, exception had to do with thb regulations regarding restaurants. He said that the sign "oleomargarine for sale here" should be d s- played In every eating place where It was used. This regulation was not being .oboyed. . Dr. Michael Steel, South Perth, maintained that there was no scarcity of butter, so .that the argument put forth regarding the requirements of oleomargarine was not founded on fact. He declared that the dema-d In the country for the substitute did not emanate from the consumers, but mostly from fiVraa or Interests anxious to enter Into the manufacture of oleomargarine. E, W. Nesbitt, North Oxford, In advancing the suggestion that regulations governing, the Importation and sale of oleomorgarino should be strengthened, said that oleomargarine should be manufactured In accordance with government regulations. Dependent on Dairying. Dr. J. W. Edwards, Frontmac, declared that when tho war was over and we got back to normal conditions, the government would be wise to Irsi- tate before continuing the importation and manufacture of margar'ne. Canada was a fanning country and especially in the eastern provinces the people were dependent on Dairying for a. living. Dr. R. .1. Mamlon, "Fort "Wllliaan, agreed with W. F, Nlckle, Kingston, that a large number of people could not afford to pay the price of butter. Speaking as n returned soldier, he said, he had eaten oleomargarine fcl? a large part of the time he was overseas and found It excellent. In England It was eaten almost entirely, excepting by people of the wealthy class. Soldiers in the lines were given it constantly and could not tell the difference between It and butter. Dr. Man'.on was unable to seo why the pries of oleomargarine was not lower in Canada. than It is. He said it is sold &t about three- quarters the plrlce of nutter, while over in England "you could buy it for half aa much." Donald Sutherland, South Oxford, felt that proper safeguards had not been created with regard to oleomargarine. Dairying, he said, was the very foundation of agrlcu'tvjre in Canada. His strongest objection to oleomargarine was its sale as a deceptive counterfeit. It was made up In packages exactly identical with creamery butter and colored to resemble creamery butter, Mr. Sutherland also declared that the cheese Industry was being crippled by the prices fixed. Price fixing had jeopardized the cheese Industry to suc'i an extent that the outlook was a very serious one, he said. Crerar States Reasons. The jveasons which prompted th; government to pass the order-In-couh cil permitting the manufacture, importation and sale of oleomargarine i i Canada were given by Hon. T. A. Crerar. He stated that In the year 1913, Canada had exported 155 2,G,000 pounds of cheese; S28 623 pounds of butter and 336,849 pounds of condensed milk. Four yerfs later, In 1917, the exports of cheese had grown to 18\- 733,426 pounds; those of butter to 799,- 000,000 pounds and of condensed milk to 15,858,000 pounds. The imports of butter In Canada in 1913 were 7,989 000 pounds, and in 1917 only 997,000 pounds. The war in Europe had created a very big demand on Canada ard the United States for dairy products. Great Britain, before the war, had been able to Import butter, cheese, etc., from Holland and other European countries, but the war had interfered with such Importation. The effect of the huge export of Canadian dairy products overseas was to decrease the amount available for consumption in Canada and no doubt. as a direct result of this, during the year 1917, a large number of requests were received by the government for the removal of the ban on margrh-ine. The minister said that the doclrion to allow the Importation and manuf'c- ture of oleomargarine had been reach' ed before he became a member of the government. The regulations had „.__,.,.... __._._..., rr„_ _.. been drawn by the dairy commissioner 60£; manufactured only by TheT, Mil in the department of agriculture and I burn* Co,,.>X*iinited, Toronto, Oht «.

Tlie communication follows: "Punitive operations against the Harris continue satisfactory. With the advance of our troops in the Marrl country, tho Marris have retired further into the hills. They are offering no organized resistance, hut are confining themselves to their traditional tactics of sending out Isolated raiding parties to harry defenseless villages, loot Hindu merchant shops and life camels and cattle. "The most serious of their raids was an attack on a goods train near Ba- bar Kach In which one European and six Indians were killed and three Indians wounded. Under the gradual pressure of our troops, however, the tribes have begun to show distinct signs of contemplating surrender. Practically all sections of the Khotran tribe already have tendered their unconditional submission through their chief." —•»»• ONLY ONE WOUNDED BY GERMAN LONG RANGE GUN (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

But wc are only at tho beginning of April, which is earlier than the beginning of the offensive last .year and a whole year's campaigning is still before us. "It will be futile to think the German operations arc at an end." Tlie Germans, Gen.

"The Oerman principle," ho went on, 'Is to concentrate everything en whu- iver they undertake. This pr.n.iplc s being applied to the wostern fro.it.

All the precedents rf this var Indicate that a Genran as-nult never passes the speed of Its Initial velocity. Once the flrct great dashing assault, backed by all the Impetus of months rf preparation, has fsi'ed, the German offensive of thla war has been found to bo doomed to failure. "That was the care at Verdun. It was the case on the Italian' front and even In the drives Into the Balkans and against Russia before Russia betrayed Itself. The German Ideal is set out in Von Moltke's words "A battle without a tomorrow." Germany . In her great offensive seeks after monlhs of preparation to let loose an Irresistible torrent of men and by power of tho first blow to crush the opposing army into a routed and demoralized mob. That Ideal Germany has never reached on the western front. It only partially achieved It In Its most successful military campaigns elsewhere and then only when aided by Internal Intrigue which weakened the opposing armies. In the present operations the first stupendous drive has been brought to a 'halt. AgalnsJ jfh* British infantry it has battered'out its life much as the flower of France battered in bloody futility against the squares at Waterloo Another great German offensive may form the next development In the present series of battles in the west but if the history of this war means anything it'means that the next blow will lack the "punch" and Impetus of the flrst -assaults. » ,.# GERMAN bEFEAT. jj ' ' Germany did not start this offensive to capture some thousands of British and French prisoners, a few hundred guns and an area of territory of doubtful military value. It prepared for months, with every ounce of strength and inventive capacity It possessed and then struck with the,maximum developed power of the German empire, with the sole object of destroying the entente armies and •*rr. .'. ... winning tho war,.aUo.na,.blow. . That purpose it has failed to accomplish Just as signally and decisively as It was defeated at Verdun, at Ypres and in the campaign of the fall of 1814. A NEW HUN OFFENSIVE To BE EXPECTED. ■Germany-will soon launch a new assault, Gen. Maurice of the British war office believes. He Is more likely to havo founded this opinion on the internal situation in Germany and Austria than upon any belief In the military value to the central powers of a new olfenslve. The German government has held office by virtue of tho military successes, barren of decision aa they have proved,, which have been won in the field. It has stlfied criticism and held its people in control by constantly promising victories which would produce a "Ueimun peace."

Will the kaiser please explain bow he and his Junior partner carried out tbe.planB for that trip to Paris. ■ Constantinople declares that the "en- puiy ttoepg Save been defeated and the Scl:lrm In his Ignob'e career has Mr. William Randolph Hearst, whole pro-German newspapers and ncv> agencies de'uged Canada with lies in the caily months of the war, received a more s'.lng'ng retort than that which appears in the Los Angeles Times from the pen of a Pasadena bank president, who If he Is not a Canadian Is a true friend of Canada. The Los Angeles Examiner, one of the Hearst papers, sent the banker a copy of an Issue In which It sought to explain and excuse its previous attacks on Great Britain and the British Empire, at the same time statlnj that the ban on the Healst news services Imposed by the British government had been lifted. The reply this disingenuous Journal received Included the following: "I have your letter of Feb. 28, be-" ginnl g as follows: 'A cemmiuce of Canadians has request d us to send to you an editorial page of the Examiner, recently published, which contains an editorial sentiment relative to Canadians and Americans that . . . this committee feels sure would be of interest to you,' and your letter ends by stating that the ban on the Heaist papers and the International News News Service has been lifted so TdV as England and all British dominions are concerned. "I believe that your letter bogins and ends typically with a misstatement. No carr.mttce of Canadians requested you to send out your advertising matter. There are not enough renegades here to foim a committee. As for your last statement, that your service has been restored and your paper admitted to loyal Canadian homos, the refutation comes in this morning's Associated Press as follows: "TORONTO, Ont, Feb 2S.—(By Canadian Press.)—There is no truth in the report that' the ban has been lifted on the Hearst publications or the International News Service,' said Col. Chambers, chief press censor for Canada, in leply to a question on this point. 'I am aware of the fact that a report of this kind has been circulated, but th.re Is not a word of truth In it. The regulations are still being rigidly enforced In Great Br.tain and Canada.' "With regard to your editorial of Feb. 7, enclosed, I have two observations to make. First, a Hearst paper would print anything once, even eiomethlng loyal to America and her allies, for the sake of circulation, and he would be an egregious ass who tvould be taken In by such a simple itratagcm. I presume. you sent the German ambassador many editorials with the same business end In view. Second, the article submitted by you as proof of your friendship for Canada Is a good sample of the devious, mischief attempting and lying propaganda that is the utmost you dare these days. "Believe me, you cannot curry favor with any true Canadian by at.emptlng with Ill-disguised venom to stick a wedge between that country an 1 the motherland for which she h s slwwn *ier willingness to die. Every Canadian is proud of the way In whlih the and of his birth has risen to Its destiny, but ho would, be suspicious ot your aid In shaping that destiny. Fiat- ery from you, with the Impl c-.tbn hat their British connection Is the mly thing for which Canad ans nied tpologize, is foolish and useless. Thoir 'oyalty to Britain Is their overmister- ng sentiment. If your hatred of all things British did not make ycu purblind, the war would have tau;ht you his much. "There is a certain an'mal known in Los Angeles county whose presence is known not by sight but with the use of other senses, and only children of tendor years mistake It for a pet. I would Hot wart it or tho JEsapsaiej, i£ I could, help It, In my back yard. "If my views seem to you net representative. 1 wou'd suggest that Mr Hearst Inform himself by stepping off a train either at Toronto, Wi-npes, Vancouver or any Canadian point and make his identity known. But preferably he might step off eithw In Berlin or anywhere In the United State? while the train Is moving, say, 80 miles an hour. Tour truly, "J. F. MACDONNE-L." Mr. J..F.

Irrigation is becoming an increasingly Important factor in prairie crop production is the opinion of A. S. Dawson, chief engineer of the department of natural resource's for the Canadian Pacific railway, who was 'in the city in connection with the executive meeting of the Western Canada Irrigation association this week. Speaking of the irrigation enterprises of the company, lie said: "At the present time Irrigated lands projected by the company are the largest Individual enterprises on the continent. They occupy an area of about three million acres east of Calgary and 150 000 acres In the Lethbridgo district. All of this is being rapidly developed and settled with the best types of settlers from Irrigated districts In the United States. "Many of the problems which have been successfully worked out on the larger projects are encountered on the smaller enterprises and that Is one of the reasons why I am looking forward with much interest to the holding of the Nelson convention. .'.'This, city should make an Ideal convention city," he remarked. "And while the principal purposes of the convention are of a business nature there is no question that many of tho delegates, when they see the city will wish to combine a short holiday with it. Nelson should prove particularly attractive in this respect, "With the existing prosperity of the prairie farmers their interest In tho resources of British Columbia Is natur- ally becoming more active and I wouk' thin kthat many will take more than r temporary Interest in the forthcomlnr conference." "KOOT," THE BEAR MASCOT, DIES FROM BROKEN BACK "Koot" Is dead. While lying on th. top of the pole-couch in his pen. Nelson's bear, mascot of the old 54th battalion, fell off and on to the concrete at the bottom and broke his back. The black bear first got recognition as mascot of the original Kootenay battalion. Unable to take him overseas, they left him In the city. A pen built by the city council kept him and the Grand Central hotel management fed him.

AGENTS, NELSON, B.C. QUEBEC, April 3.—Amidst cheers, 46 men out of the 62 detained by tho military authorities in connection with the rioting here on Monday night were this afternoon liberated on the charge of being in a crowd and causing a disturbance, by Judge Langelier In the police court. Bur 35 of them must still satisfy Gen. Lessard, officer commanding in Quebec, that they are not subject 4.0 the Military Service act before they will be given their liberty. This may take some time as the destruction of Registrar Goblet's office last Friday has disrupted the exemption system to some extent and it will have to be readjusted. Eleven men who are charged with being actually connected with the rioting here Monday night will appear in the police court tomorrow morning. They are: William Aves, Joseph Deverenes, Mendoza Lachance. John Roway, Gau- dolse Lolselle, Abdon Gingras, Adelaide Deschalnes, Alfred Towers, Louis P. Girnux, Maflus Glroux and Donald Dupre. Plead Not Guilty. With the exception of Deschalnes, who claimed to live In Sherbrookc, they all gave Quebec addresses. They have already been given a preliminary hearing by Judge Langoller and have pleased not guilty Eleven men who were arrested on Monday night, or subsequently and who have been categorized as "E" men under the Military Service act, were brought down to the police court this morning under a heavy guard ot soldiers. They were ordered liberated by Judge Langelier, as the militia had found that they were merely Innocently curious In being in the neighborhood of tho rioting. His honor also announced that tho 86 men who were not present were acquitted of the charges against them. A. Taschereau, K.C., representing the military authorities, addressing the men, asked thorn not to bear any Ill- will as a result of their experience. He said they had been completely acquitted. It was no disgrace to havo been arrested In a crowd under the circumstances. Explains Use of Ontario Troops. Today Gen: Lessard received a number of French newspapermen and discussed with them the accusation that had been made in some sections of tho Montreal press that Ontario troops should not have been used In Quebec. The general pointed out that the Ontario troops were only used after the local French Canadian battalions had been worn weary by duty In connection with the events of Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Ho also said he doubted if a Frehch Canadian regiment would have been as patient under the treatment the Ontario battalion received at tho hands of the mob on' Monday night before they retaliated. The Quebec Telegraph tonight announced that the chief instigators of the rioting on Monday night left the city yesterday. The important fact that people killed In Monday's rioting were not victims of machine guns was announced by the military authorities today. The gunners aimed low and possibly only one or two people were-slightly injured by them. A, (inference pf opinion. <tav«lOJM>d . .today between the military authorities and the. attorney-general's department, about the detention of men. taken Into custody on Monday night. The civil authorities hold that as he men have been discharged by Judge Langelier, they must be treated, so far as the Military Service act is concerned. like ordinary citizens, and be allowed to appeal their cases. Gen, Lessard was willing only to release such men who coul' dnot be enrolled at once. Tonight the men were silli at the citadel.'Tonight the military authorities were advised from Ottawa that an order-in-couiicil would bo paBsetl which would legalize the holding of draftees under such conditions. Could Have Been Avoided. The major left In company with the chief of police for the scene of tho riots. It appears that the mayor and chief of police, In their trip to military headquarters, had passed the auditorium, as Capt. Desrocheres was Informed by the chief of police that the crowd was then In the building and throwing the records into the street: (,eapt. Desrocheres Is of the opl-ilon that both the occurrences wou'd have been avoided If "the civic authorities had taken notice of his repeated warnings end a. proper display Of pro- tectlon had been made by the police. "The facts as to what transpired between the military authorities end the mayor must be obtained from the former, as I hnve no knowledge of It other than hearsay! After the registrar's office hSd been Set on fire, fie (Iro brigade was called out, but owing to the action of the mob In preventing the firemen from performing their dotles,; great damage was dene to the building nnd records before tlie fire was brought Under control. Bulk of Records Saved. A"fter careful Invcstlgat'on I find that the greater portion of the most Important records were saved, as they had been locked away In a b-ck filing room and wero apparently over'ooked by the mob, smoke and waoer being the cause of damage to those documents, Which, with the exception of possibly 1000 names, will be saved and from which new records can be made up.

"As the lives and personal property of the Dominion pol'ce had been threatened, I Instructed Capt. Desrocheres to have his men scattered and for the present to make no arrests. The work of the Dominion police In Quebec, therefore, for the moment, Is suspended. Capt, Desrocheres Informs me' that therb has been since the commencement of activities by the Dominion police,, threats mado against individual meinbors of the force and that what work they have been able to accomplish has been done in th-a fee? of hostile attitude from practically every source." ■■MsMMMMMUlieMUMtMtf the, windows, etc^.belng.smashed, al. though the rioters had not then penetrated the building. After a short Interval the D.O.C. succeeded in communicating by telephone with the mayor, who Immediately proceeded to headquarters where he was handed a prepared copy of the Riot act and requested to proceed to the scene of the riot and read It. Capt Desrocheres was referred to the mayor with whom he had previously been in touch and an a result, the mayor came to the police station and mado a speech, but without effect, the crowd subsequently taking the action Just related. The municipal police at this station tried to keep the crowd out, but lost control, mob rule resulting. Request for Aid Refused. Capt. Desrochers states that he requested the chief of police to call out all available municipal police to the aid of the Dominion police who had sought refuge In No. 3 police station, but this was not done, 12 police only being placed on this duty and this number was not Increased, although Capt DesrocherOB pointed out how Inadequate this force was. The premier continued: "Capt. Desrocheres telegraphed the full facts to Ottawa and by 8 o'clock on Friday It was known here that an attack was contemplated on the registrar's office at Quebec that night. On my arrival in Quebec on Saturday the 30th ult., I found that the rumor had been carried Into effect, with the result that two newspaper offlceB had been wrecked and the registrar's office had been set on fire. The contempiat- ed action of the mob had been repeatedly communicated on Friday by Capt. Desrocheres to the mayor and ;he G. O. C. Capt. Desrocheres Informs mo that no adequate protection was afforded by the municipal authorities to save the registrar's office and thnt a small force of city police which had been placed In front of the registrar's office was not only inadequate for Its protection, but was quiescent when the mob started to attack the place.

STATES RIOTS WERE AVOIDABLE (By Dally News Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, April 3.—In the house today, Premier Borden submitted tho report of the director of the military service branch on the riots In Quebec during which the military records office and newspaper offices were attacked. The effect ot the report, was that had the warnings sent to tho chief of police been properly acted upon the disturbances could have been controlled and the damage prevented. The report states: Oh -Friday, the 29th ult., it was stated, Capt. Desrocheres, although himself injured,, remained all day at the central police station in company with the chief of fto city police. He urged that all available police be placed on-duty, giving information as to the tumors which had reached him concerning the proposed attack- on the military registrar's office; It Is stated that a force of from'60 to to men. might have been sufficient to have prevented, at the outset, the ransacking and burning of the registrar's office. The.ohlef of the city police received reports from patrolmen with the result that he persisted In his opinion that no troublo was to be anticipated arid that Capt. Desrocheres was unduly'alarmed. ']'■'■ fS At 8 p.m. on Friday, the'29th ult. the chief of police being absent and supposed to be with the mayor, a message was received at the central police station to tho effect that a crowd was marching up from St. Roch to the auditorium. This message was repeated over the telephone to the mayor, Capt. Desrocheres being present when the telephone messago was sent. Attacks Newspaper Offices. The mob marched up town and back to St. Roch. Following this movement, 12 policemen, all that had been provided by the city police, were sent1 to the Auditorium.

"Heretofore," wrote the director- general, "railroad taxes have been paid entirely by the private owners of the ral'roads but now these taxes will be paid by the government. "Manifestly in such circumstances, the imposition of unnecessary state and local taxation on the railroads will be a distinct Impediment to the carrying on of the war and an added burden upon the government."

McCulloch told how the ampaign for the signing of pledfe- ards was can led out in Toronto, .l'ter several suggestions had been nade It was decided to divide the city nto districts east and west of Ward treet and north and south of Car- honate street.

Mrs. R.,t. erford Speaks The meeting was opened by the chairman, Ms. Rutherford, who t.rmed'ths meeting one for lecruit.ng ard asked for recruits under the ccuntry's 11 g for the "kitchen soldiers." Sire said that during the four years of war, Canadian women haJ been cal ed upon to make treat sne- ifijes f r ihe Empire. The greatest an I noLl st sacrfice of a'l had bejn made by tho weman who had given their sons, husbands, brothers and sweethearts. These women belonged to a new order of nobiUty, whose badge was tho nobly borne look of suffering In their eyes. Millions of women all over the wor'd suffer the gonies of separation and anxiety for their loved ones. To rovlew this brought the conclusion that nothing could be worse. But there was something worse and that was to think of children crying for bread with noth- ng to give tbem. No anguish could transcend the thought, Mrs. Rutherfnr-i •""-> l«i't trillions of women were undergoing that torture, "Aim it id pui tJ..>> .9« md duty to help ameliorate that ■suffering,!' she said. "We are asked to save wheat, bacon, beef, fats and ugar because these are the foods diet's on the firing line. Canada must buckle down to the business of producing and conserving food, he declared in conclusion. Alex Laith Speaks Alex Lelth remarked that it was difficult for anyone living In the Immediate dstrict to realize that there was a world-wide shortage of food. While the district had suffered terribly from the loss of men, it had not suffered at all from the lors of food, and could hardly sense the fact thit there was not food crough to go around, He spoke tt ihe plea p t forward by many persons that the government should ration Canada but when It was considered that Canada was 27 times the area of the mother country and sparsely settled It was easy to see what difficulty would be experienced in putting rationing into effect. The war, therefore, was a war for the individual and white it was up to men to look after the increase in production it was rea ly up to the housewife to see that tha food was not wasted and that the foods required by the allies were conserved as far as possible. Some persons objected to saving food because Britain mirufactured linucr, he said, but now tl at no sp'.iit- uous liquors were being made and the manufactuie cf bear had been cut down one-half, It was not for one people to legislate for another, but to see that the s ldi rs and the suffer ng wemen and children wrc fed. In thrt way each one could do their duty, he declared. Marks Obtained by Scholars at Nelson Public School Are Announced by the Principal.
